According to the previous tripartite negotiations between the North Sea Kingdom, the Duchy of Cleaver, and the Habsburgs, although John II, Duke of Cleaver, agreed to send troops in name, he obviously refused to bear the black cauldron of "stealing letters from the French royal palace". And Marin's North Sea State did not dare, so in the end the "provider" of the letter could only be the Habsburgs. After all, the Habsburgs were not afraid of France. Moreover, they and France have long torn their faces apart because of the problems of Burgundy.

However, Maximilian I did not want to bear the notorious name of "sending men to steal letters from the French palace". It was not that he was afraid of France, but that he did not want to bear the infamy of "instructing people to steal from France". This reputation, for a monarch, is very dishonorable.

So, Maximilian I finally came up with a solution - he declared that a thief named "Pedro" was recently willing to provide him with a batch of evidence that could prove that the Duchy of Guedes had colluded with France, and offered 10,000 gold coins. If anyone was willing to take on the task of helping the Parsons concentration camp to relieve the siege, he paid for the evidence and authorized it to the princes who were willing to lead troops to relieve the siege......

The name Pedro has a strong Spanish style, and Maximilian I was also a chicken thief. By saying this, he was clearly throwing the black pot at the Spaniards. Spain and France are also bitter rivals, having previously fought in Italy. Therefore, it makes sense to dump the black pot of such theft on the Spaniards. However, the Spaniards have not yet been able to refute it. Because, Maximilian I only pointed out that a thief named "Pedro" had a batch of evidence in his hands, but he did not announce that Pedro was sent by Spain...... He only hinted at it, but he didn't say it explicitly......

In this way, things get complicated. Because, Maximilian I is clearly hinting that Spain, together with the Habsburgs, is looking for trouble with the French......

If there were only the Habsburgs, in the present form, there might really be German princes on the side of the French. However, now that it seems that the Spaniards are also involved, things are complicated......

You know, the Spaniards are not easy to mess with. In Italy, they had beaten the French away. Moreover, now the Spanish army was on the Italian peninsula, not far from the German region. If you rashly take sides, the Spanish army will go north...... That's the end of it......

Therefore, Maximilian I's hand did bluff many people, even Louis XII was so frightened that he almost forgot that to the south, there was a Spain that beat France......

But in fact, at this time, Spain was also infighting, and there was no time to manage foreign ......

What is the Spanish infighting? It was mainly a question of the Kingdom of Castile......

After the death of Isabella I, Prince Juan rightfully succeeded to the Castilian throne of Isabela I. However, Ferdinand II, King of Aragon, wanted to unite the Kingdom of Castile. Therefore, on the grounds that Prince Juan was too young, he asked Prince Juan to accept his "guidance", and the father and son "co-ruled" the Kingdom of Castile.

Prince Juan listened more to his father, but it didn't matter. However, the great nobles of the Kingdom of Castile were not happy. After all, when Prince Juan, who has no opinions, becomes king, they will have a greater say. And if Ferdinand II's old fox still ruled Castile, they would have been suppressed. Therefore, the ministers of the Kingdom of Castile opposed the co-rule of Ferdinand II. Moreover, they have a good reason - to rule with Queen Isabella I, which is in line with custom and law. After all, it makes sense for husband and wife to rule together. However, your sons are all adults and have inherited the throne, do you still want to "co-rule", do you want to be shameless? Moreover, there is no precedent in history......

Therefore, for the right to "co-rule" the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II and the nobles and ministers of Castile engaged in fierce infighting, resulting in Spain now unable to focus on foreign countries.

However, Ferdinand II did not clarify the speculation that Spain was involved in a conspiracy with the Habsburgs against France. Because, Ferdinand II thought that it was a good misunderstanding, just to scare the French......

And Ferdinand II's acquiescence did the Habsburgs a great favor. Some German princes who had wanted to take advantage of the Habsburgs' troubles and planned to stab them in the back retreated when they saw the powerful Spaniards involved, allowing the Habsburgs to escape......

You know, the Habsburgs are currently throwing their main forces into the Swiss battlefield. If a powerful vassal state stabbed the Habsburgs in the back at this time, the Habsburgs would really be a little unbearable......

Although it had been discussed in private, in the end, the Duchy of Cleaver came forward and organized an army to go to the Parson concentration camp to relieve the siege. However, John II, Duke of Cleaver, did not plan to announce the news too soon. Because, he planned to give a surprise attack to the Duchy of Godes, so as not to make preparations for the other party.

And just when everything was not announced, the 500 scout cavalry under Sauer was dispatched in advance......

Under Schwartz's arrangement, the 500 elite scout cavalry under Sauer's command all changed into the clothes of other countries and quietly entered the territory of the Duchy of Brabant. These men would then be tasked with identifying the guards scattered around the Duchy of Guedes and quietly removing them......

The army of the Duchy of Gedes is not stupid, and they are naturally in case the Habsburgs really send reinforcements. Therefore, the other party will inevitably send out sentry spies and put them on the periphery so as not to be taken advantage of.

Of course, because it was because of the fear that the Habsburgs would send reinforcements. Therefore, Schwartz concluded that the main direction of the enemy's sentinel defense must be the western direction......

Therefore, this time, the 500 scout cavalry of Sauer also gave priority to the sentinels who began to clean up the Duchy of Gedes from the direction to the west......

You say you're worried that these scout cavalry will be spotted by enemy scouts first? That's impossible...... Because, the scout cavalry under Sauer was equipped with binoculars, and the enemy did not have ...... Even if the enemy scout fails, it will be difficult to be detected by the enemy first...... After all, the scout cavalry under Sauer's command was much more regular than his opponent, and he was also equipped with reconnaissance weapons such as binoculars......

Therefore, the scouts of the North Sea Country generally discover their opponents before the enemy. Even if you make a mistake, you can rely on the enemy to find the advantage of the opponent and retreat in advance......

The reason why Schwartz first sent people to clear the enemy's sentry from the west was not only to prevent the enemy from discovering his own sneak attack army, but also to mislead the enemy to guard against the western direction. After all, the enemy has a limited number of sentinels, and seeing that something is wrong in the west, it will definitely give priority to leaning in the western direction. In this way, the east and northeast sides are empty, which is convenient for the sneak attack of the army of the North Sea State......
